Mining for Miracles, the BC mining industry’s long-standing fundraising campaign for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, is raising $3.385M to establish the BC Children’s Hospital Cellular and Regenerative Medicine Centre (CRMC). The first of its kind in Western Canada, the CRMC will give clinicians at BC Children’s the tools to better understand the genetic cause of heart arrhythmias so they can provide the best possible care to children in BC. It will result in improved diagnoses, identification of optimal treatments, and potentially, cures—improving and saving the lives of children across the province and beyond. In the future, the CRMC may also be used to provide answers for the thousands of children living with other conditions, like diabetes, cancer, bowel disease, and epilepsy. 

Through the continuous support of donors, BC Children’s Hospital has been able to make incredible progress over the years. Two remarkable groups, who reached monumental milestones, are Mining for Miracles and Balding for Dollars.

Mining for Miracles, the BC mining community’s long-standing fundraising campaign for BC Children’s Hospital, presented a cheque for $2,167,054 at the 31st Annual Miracle Weekend on June 3, 2018.

The UN World Health Assembly declared sepsis a global priority.
